Irina Karkabi, 1960 | Romantic Figurative painter

Ukrainian artist Irina Vitalievna Karkabi was born in Kharkov, Ukraine. Her artistic talent was noticed by those around her in early childhood.

In 1982, almost immediately after graduating from the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, she, along with her husband and newborn son, moved to the city of Haifa in northern Israel (occupied palestine), where she settled on the seashore.

There, at the Mediterranean crossroads of cultural ideas and artistic trends, Irina founded her studio. She paints exclusively in oil on canvas.

The artist has repeatedly participated in international exhibitions, for example, at the Art Expo in New York and Los Angeles.

Andrey Razumovsky | Fashion photographer

Artists often find inspiration for their creations in the most unlikely places. Russian⏭ photographer Andrey Razumovsky [Андрей Разумовский] stimulating influence to create this work called “Milk” was, well, dairy milk.
Razumovsky’s digitally-enhanced photography introduces us to a collection of scantily clad women photographed pin-up style and “draped” in “milk clothes” such as corsets, dresses, underwear, and bathing suits. Razumovsky’s work is undoubtedly very racy but I personally find the naughty collection rather entertaining and amusing.

Jared Joslin, 1970 | Figurative / Surrealist painter

Jared Joslin is an American painter born in 1970, in Fort Collins, Colorado.

He is always a clever storyteller; symbolic scenes are flooded with plush colors and prosperous details which easily distract the viewer from threatening underpinnings of every tale. Beautiful painting technique accompanies surreal circus themes and nostalgic glamorous female portraiture.

Over the years, there have been countless artists that have given him inspiration.

Jared Joslin is strongly influenced by color, fire and smoke, travel, nature, sky and its many moods, the mystery of forests, the alien world of insects, the beauty and weirdness of animals and birds.

The artist admires objects that have lived a life long ago, especially during the late 1800’s through the 1940’s; the golden age of the circus and Hollywood, carnival lights, silent films, fashion and glamour; cabarets, dance halls and clubs that existed between the war years in Berlin.
